Description

I am trying to build a distributable, by running the
build-windows.py

I run
`{path_to_the_dist_I_want_build}\python.exe build-windows.py --sh C:\cygwin64\bin\sh.exe --options noopt`

Everything goes fine, but then it blocks in

```
openssl> "C:\...\python-build-standalone\build\strawberry-perl\perl\bin\perl.exe" "-I." -Mconfigdata "util\dofile.pl" "-omakefile" "include\openssl\conf.h.in" > include\openssl\conf.h
openssl> Cannot find the specified path.
openssl> jom: C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\openssl-build-uhmz4fql\x64\openssl-3.0.15\Makefile [include\crypto\dso_conf.h] Error 1
openssl> jom: C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\openssl-build-uhmz4fql\x64\openssl-3.0.15\Makefile [include\openssl\asn1t.h] Error 1

openssl> process exited 2
```

I checked is on the file cpython-windows > build.py on the method: build_openssl_for_arch when running jom.

I actually tried to separately replicate the commands on perl to build the openssl but without success.

I am running windows 10 on x64 Architecture,
and I want to build a python distribution starting from the dist:
- cpython-3.10.16+20241206-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc-shared-pgo-full.tar.zst (then I added some custom libraries)
from the list of dists: https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/tree/zb/openssl

Has someone come across such problem? Has someone fixed it?

p.s.
I add some info. Still not fixed.
The process of build of openssl goes in error, and I tried to do in by hand (then I remove from code the step of building openssl for arch).

There are executed 2 steps:
1. Since my machine is based on x64 architecture, it runs the following
`{path_to_local_perl}\perl.exe Configure VC-WIN64A no-idea no-mdc2 no-tests --prefix=/64`
This is the configuration step of openssl. It goes fine.

2. Later I try to do the build either with jom or nmake, as many people use nmake.
With nmake It gets the following error:
nmake from VS x64:

`C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.42.34433\bin\Hostx64\x64\nmake.exe `

```

It is most likely an issue to be opened on openssl. Has someone encountered it?
